About the author

Qu Shijing is an important Chinese scholar known for translating and studying Virginia Woolf; public information about his life is limited, yet his scholarly interests can still be clearly seen in his translations and writings. He has long focused on foreign literature, especially stream-of-consciousness fiction. He translated Woolf's major works, including A Room of One's Own, To the Lighthouse, and The Common Reader, and took part in translating the Collected Works of Virginia Woolf, making Woolf's writing fully accessible to Chinese readers. Beyond translation, he wrote Virginia Woolf, the Stream-of-Consciousness Novelist, analyzing her artistic world through both her narrative techniques and her intellectual context. His translations strive to capture the tone of the originals, and he has exercised influence in literary appreciation and foreign literature, offering Chinese readers a reliable path into modernist fiction.
